Take me home by abiodun_adekoya Published on 02/17/2008

Take me home
Where your elders
Can see our love

 

Stash me not away from the sky
Where your elders we say
I am not a highbrow suitor

 

As my elders
Known everything
About our relationship

 

So do I want your elders
Who are ignorance of our love
To respect my family ethics

 

Can't you see?
We both came from good homes
Where love should not be naked on the street

 

Take me home
And let my elders pay homage
To your traditional right

yes, a song of love in the universal rhythm.the elders may be the deciding factor but really it is the force of the love that moves the two people towards what is customarily right. good.

Two people who love each other should not be afraid of what others say, especially families, maybe its time to change the old ways, what worked years ago doesnt do for now.The world is a different place to how it was then, times have changed.We have more freedoms. thought provoking write .

Yah right. But our culture (Africa) believe in doing right in Africa way. No secret love, let family know more about both parties and so on. Thanks.

Our love should not be secret, take me home and let everybody be awared of our relationship.
